Public Safety committee  A photo and 10 fingerprints. Initially, they will be collected abroad. We will start with certain countries.

Public Safety committee  We have already conducted several proof of concept tests. The goal is to better identify those entering the country. That is hard to do with just a name and a date of birth.

Public Safety committee  I don't know enough about the stats to know that.

Public Safety committee  I think it's clear that the government has recognized that we want to be able to figure out if they've left or not. That's why the work we're doing under the perimeter vision with the United States is about creating an entry–exit system.

Public Safety committee  That is correct.

Public Safety committee  That's correct. At Immigration we are working, from a facilitation perspective, to do more with our key partners, like the schools, for example, to know if students who come into Canada are actually studying and in good standing. We are all incrementally improving these things.

Public Safety committee  No.

Public Safety committee  The quick answer is yes, except there are exceptions. So there is a hand-off, but then somebody may make another application of some type and they become—

Public Safety committee  —one of our clients who still has an enforcement action required by CBSA.

Public Safety committee  We'll separate cases that are overseas because those are a different kettle of fish. For cases in Canada, it depends on what they're seeking to obtain. I'll start with people who are here as visitors and may ask for extensions to remain, or may be here as temporary foreign workers or students and are asking for extensions.

Public Safety committee  Normally if they're looking for an extension they have status, so we would expect them to leave within the status of their application. I don't know for sure what the letter says. We can check that.

Public Safety committee  If they are refugee claimants, for example, when they have begun the process we would have written up a report on them. That report would remain dormant while they go through the process. They would go through the IRB a number of months later—or many months or years later, but that's going to be resolved—they would make their case, and then the IRB would decide if they are refugees or not.

Public Safety committee  I don't know. We can—

Public Safety committee  That's a CBSA matter, but we can certainly work with CBSA for that.

Public Safety committee  That's not correct. For our officers overseas who are processing visitors, immigrants, and so on, we may come across situations where we would refuse a case to come to Canada. If someone arrives at a port of entry, that's CBSA; CBSA is processing the cases. They may find that somebody is inadmissible, write an inadmissibility report, and order them deported or removed.
